That is not enough space for a cow. Poor thing.

[C-Mag]

Yeah, his ideas on livestock are crazy. The 10 layers are fine, but a milk cow and sheep too ?

[Montegriffo]

Those figures are unsupportable unless you buy hay from outside. To be honest if you want self sufficiency on a 1/4 of an acre you are going to have to give up red meat.

I'd recommend you buying a scythe for the harvesting and maybe a sieve for the milling.

I thought about the scythe, but there's too much potential for one of the kids to get impaled.

By sieve, you mean a filtering screen? We have that for pasta.

Do you have a weedeater ?




3rd World Countries often have this weird mix of technology and techniques.

That's retarded. Just learn to handle the right tool.

What kind of special-ed weedwhacker is that?? Never seen one with gorilla bars on it

Strongly considering a sickle, as I can bundle it as I go. My wheat has green heads on it now.
